Acclaim for Grumme historier

Grumme historier (Grim stories). Samlerens forlag 2011.

“Baroque, indeed, and sometimes grim. But you quickly sense that there is more to Clark’s prose. There is something on stake. She wants something with her stories, which makes her a rare species among Danish prose writers, who far too often settles for ordinary writing about ordinary people’s ordinariness. It is truly well done.” - Kristoffer Zøllner, Berlingske

“Mathilde Walter Clark seems like Gyrdir Eliasson [recipient of Nordic Counsel Literature Prize 2011] to be in dialogue with masters such as Kafka and Borges. There are metamorphoses, absurdities, doubles, metafiction, realities askew and screwed. It is intelligent, well-written, clever and funny, and the best of the stories stays with the reader as simple, enigmatic and a little heart-breaking parables...Enjoy!”- Lilian Munk Rösing, Information.

Mathilde Walter Clark’s collection of stories Grumme historier is an intelligent play with fairy tale. Not the flat idyllic version of fairy tale, but the sneering, grotesque and undermining. It is both entertaining and frightening. Not a bad combination. - Erik Svendsen, Jyllands-Posten

Zany tales from around the world. With a strong legacy from Karen Blixen [Isak Dinesen] Mathilde Walter Clark has written 14 stories with mysterious and mythical fairy tale traits.[...] An international firecracker.- Femina

The greatest joy of literature is it’s prose. Not the story, the plot. Nor the love tangles or everything else otherwise enjoyable. But the well-composed sentence that can commands even the most unwilling reader to listen with the eyes. Mathilde Walter Clark write such books. [...] It is tempting to talk about Blixenian [Isak Dinesen] dimensions in Mathilde Walter Clarks production, but every artist deserves to be praised as an individual without comparison. In Clark’s productions you sense the streaming, unimpeded talent that can fill the shortage of quality literature –in years to come. - Rikke Decara, KultuNaut.

All updated to modern times and superbly supplied with wonderfully baroque scenes and minor characters … a wonderful, funny, wise, generous, tragi comical everything-novel about the eternally restless male lust.” - Mikkel Bruun Zangenberg, Politiken
